Free stuff - blocks, heads

Price: Free! plus applicable fees and taxes (just kidding)

No pics, but I have at least 3 spare common blocks (no pistons or crank, but they do have the main caps and bolts) and 3 782/FB heads (all the heads have cam caps and bolts, most still have valves and springs - the dirt and grease are also free!). One of the blocks is already 0.04" over and needs a hone. One is a TBI block that would need to be drilled for the turbo return. I need to get them out of the garage to make room for my computer bench.


Free this weekend only. Next Saturday, they go to the scrapyard.

There's a core A413 trans as well for free...

What kind of shape are the heads in? Matching cam caps and straight cam bores? Would you be willing to ship a few to me? I'd pay for the shipping and your trouble, of course.

Couldn't tell you about the bores, but they all have matching cam caps. I'd honestly rather not deal with shipping them. I just don't have time. I have to clean up the garage and move my computer workbench in the next 2 weeks. Finding or building a box for a couple of heads is not really in the schedule...

But, I'd rather not scrap good heads (it's so hard to get good head(s) these days). So, if they don't get picked up this weekend, I'll let you know.

You're only a 6 hour drive from me through Canada. Let me talk to my wife and see if she'll let me go on a road trip, or if I even can make the time.

Or what if I shipped you a box with a return label?

It's not that hard to find good head(s) these days, getting it(err, uh, them) for free is the real trick;)

Rob,

I'd like one of those heads, you're not that far from me, but unfortunately, I have to work all weekend, so there is no way I can get up there. If you happen to have one left, and can hold it for a week or two until I could make the drive up, I'll gladly pick it up from you.

Don't purposely hold one for me if somebody else can make it. But if you happen to have one left, I'll take it...

I've had a lot of requests and I'm really not interested in shipping. Takes too much time to box them and take to FedEx/UPS. I really just need them gone and need any extra time I can get to clean up the garage.

If I had the time to work out the packing and shipping, these wouldn't be free. Sorry.

OK, I'll post again whatever is left over at the end of the weekend...

What's your schedule like this Sunday? I could probably get out there around 1 or 2 if I leave in the morning

I should be around...

Rob, I really want one of the blocks, too, but can't do it this weekend. I could do it next weekend, though. If you have one left, I can get it next Sat. If they are gone, my loss.

Update - I started going thru the stuff - I actually only have 3 heads left. I must've gotten rid of 2 with the 2.2 LW bottom ends I sold and forgot. 1 of the heads I need to keep as a spare for the Daytona (it's a prepped stocker head).

One of the blocks is a 2.2 CB with no balance shaft holes, but it's been bored 0.040" over and needs a hone. One of the CB's is a 2.5 turbo, the other is a 2.5 TBI (and would need to be drilled for the turbo return).

I also have a few turbo roller cams, a new CS741 cam (not really a desirable cam, but it is new) and a TBI roller cam. Lot's of spare valves and springs. They're either going home with someone this weekend, or to the scrapyard.

Still available or already scrapped?
